According to prosecutors, Page created a social media page named Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) and set up a GoFundMe to raise money.

Page maintained the BLMGA bank account and from April 2018 to May 2020 it only showed small transactions that never exceeded $5,000, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. more

    Yeah, it is.

    That aside, a pretty rookie grifter mistake in not filing 401c3(?) papers and giving himself whatever exhorbitant salary he desired.

    Like many “charitable organizatons” there is no statuatory requirement to be effective or frugal with the donated monies. Reference United Way county execs in Western Washington pulling $150k/yr 25 years ago.
